Canada's 75 years and out retirement age on the Supreme Court is a better way to go. It's a decade after 'standard' retirement but covers people who just would never go.

Tough as nails.... Hopefully she makes it through no matter how politics dictate your opinion

Mom worked until 65. However, I cannot say her former employer didn't tired to have her retire before 60. She was stubborn. Mom also looks younger than her age. So unfair, Ginsburg can retire whenever she wants. She should thank President Trump. He gave her the reasons to live.

Time to put pressure on her to do the right thing?

...or until a Dem is back in WH.

Time to retire and get another Conservative Judge who uphold the rule of law and order not rule of Mob and extreme liberalism dictatorship
